TRI'IIIMING DEVICE FOR ICE-CREAM-CONE-MAKIHG MACHINES.

Application filed November 26, 1920. Serial No. 426,58.

To all "107mm it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Lewis Lnwison, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, of the city of Hamilton, in the county of lVentworth, in theProvince of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and usefullimproveinents in a Trimming Device for Ice- Cream-Cone-Makinglilachines, of which the following is the specification.

My invention relates to a trimming device for ice cream cone makingmachines pat cnted by me in the Dominion of Canada under No. 186,239 onthe 27th August, 1918, and in the United States under No. 1,289,209

" on the 31st Dec. 1918. My present invention refers particularly to atrimming device for the edge of the cone and the object of my inventionis to devise an extremely simple, and efficient means, whereby the topedge of the cone may be accurately and smoothly trimmed prior to itsleaving the mold! My invention consists of a mold the top edge of whichhas an annular steplike double recess terminating in a bottom sharp edgeand an intermediate sharp edge, and a co-acting core having a washersecured at the upper end, the edge of which is designed to fit the lowerrecess and is provided with peripheral recesses and an under inclinedbevelled edge, which is designed intermediate of its width to rest onthe bottom sharp corner edge of the lower recess, and a cap locatedabove the washer, the core, washer and cap being secured together by acentral bolt, the parts being arranged and constructed "in detail ashereinafter more particularly explained.

Fig. 1, is a side elevation showing the position of the mold.

Fig. 2, is a vertical section through the mold.

Fig. 3, is a sectional plan of the washer.

Fig. 4:, is a cross section of the washer.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding partsin each figure.

1 is the table, 2 the central shaft and 3 an arm secured to the centralshaft and carrying a rib 4e. 5 is the mold, which is held in the ends ofthe separable arms 6.

The mold 5 comprises the mold proper 7 having a conical portion 7 andthe horizontal portion 7 whereby it is held in the end of the arm 6. Theinterior of the mold is formed with a double annular recess or moreproperly tvvo recesses 8 8. The lower core is suitably secured to thearm 18 (see Fig. 2).

It will be noticed that there is an annular space between the bottomedge of the arm 13 and the recess 8 and also that there is a spacebetween the periphery of the arm 13 and the flange 9. 1

When the mold is filled with batter and the core is being brought downinto the po sition shown in F ig. 2, the surplus batter, which is verysmall will'escape through the recess 12 and around the recesses 8 and Sand between the periphery of the cap13 and the flange 9. Very little, ifany, gets over the top of the flange When the mold is in the positionshown.

in Fig. 2 and, therefore, is closed for baking the bevelled ed e 13 ofthe washer will rest intermediate of its width upon the sharp corner 8When the baking has par tially taken place and the batter is in asemiplastic state pressure is exerted by the rib a on the end of the arm3 and this pressure bringing the bevelled edge against the sharp corner8 serves to very efficiently and evenly trim off the top edge of thecone.

It will be seen that the means, which I now employ to trim the top edgeis very simple and such trimming is effected prior to the discharge ofthe cone from the mold, which is an important desideratum. I

What I claim as my invention is: I 1. A trimming device for ice creamcon making machines comprising a mold formed with a lower interiorrecess at the upper end of the conical portion terminating in a sharpcorner, and a core provided with a flaring upper end bevelled at itslower side and designed to rest intermediate of its width upon the sharpcorner to form a severing means. 2. A. trimming device for ice creamcone making machines comprising a mold formed with a lower interiorrecess at the upper end of the coni'ceil portion terminating-{in sharpcorner, and a core fitting the mold, a Washer located at the upper endof the coreend provided with a bottom bevel-led edge designed to restagainst the sharp corner of the bottom interior recess, and means forsecnri-ngthe Washer in alaice.

3. A trimming device for ice cream cone making machines comprising amold formed With a. lower interior recess at the upper end. of theconical portion'terminziting' in a sharp corner, and e core fittin'g'themold, a Washer located at the upper end of the core and 13'roi id ecl'\i itli' a bottom bevelled edge designed to rest against the sharpcorner of thebottom interior recess,- means for secnr} ing the Washerinplace, the washer being provided With a peripheral recess; v
